Understanding how functional reasoning proceeds is crucial to further establish computer-aided tools for conceptual design. Enlightened by the symbiosis-based evolution theory of organism, this paper proposes a symbiosis-based functional reasoning model for original design, which is based on three kinds of symbiotic relations between product functions. The functional reasoning process of a wood stick-separated device then demonstrates that the model is valid.
